Brief Explanations
- Trade winds are steady winds that blow from east to west near the equator.
- Westerlies are winds that blow from west to east in the middle latitudes.
- Polar easterlies are winds that blow from east to west near the poles.
- Monsoons are large - scale wind systems that reverse direction with the seasons, similar to how sea and land breezes (on a smaller scale) change direction due to temperature differences between land and water. Monsoons involve the movement of air over large regions and their direction changes with the seasons.
